Correct Response: A. Asking English learners to retell what the article is about using the target words requires them to summarize the main ideas and details of the text and to apply the new vocabulary meaningfully. The process of summarizing reinforces and increases retention of the new vocabulary and content. B is incorrect because while practicing reading the text aloud with appropriate phrasing and intonation would support the students' development of prosody, a key indicator of reading fluency, it would not necessarily contribute to vocabulary growth or content learning. Creating a time line (C) would not be an appropriate strategy to use with this text because the text most likely has a cause/effect text structure, not a chronological text structure. Locating and highlighting the key words that the teacher taught (D) would not particularly support text comprehension or vocabulary development because the students are not applying the words or content meaningfully.
